I can confirm this. We took a snapshot of October 26th (setup-timestamp: 1098732614), and in that version of setup,
That number you quoted identifies the version of the setup.ini datafile, not the setup.exe program.
none of the file handles for any of the temp files of the form (where c:\temp is your temporary package directory) c:\temp\http%.....\package.tar.bz2 is ever released. The system starts page faulting and the number of handles just grows and grows, and eventually setup dies like this:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error Runtime Error! Program \\samba\install\win32\cygwin\setup.exe This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
That's nasty. I wonder why we haven't seen more reports of this.
Is there any reason why your machine should be more susceptible to this? (Low memory, any kind of resource limits?)
